    Nice. Before Facebook many people used multi-protocol clients like Miranda IM (dead but Miranda NG is alive, will soon support WhatsApp and Telegram), Pidgin (supports everything with plugins), QIP (died in 2015), but they are currently not available on phones, and I don't know what's available for phones.

    the omemo support in pidgin is just through a plugin, as with many recent XEPs. i think people tend to forget that pidgin's focus is being a multi-protocol messenger. it ships with XMPP support, but that mostly includes the base.

    i wrote that omemo plugin and tbh I am pretty burned out. so many moving parts, it's hell to debug and i'm not even sure where to go next with it. (plus people keep talking badly about pidgin anyway and i am not sure if it's even worth continuing.) i am very thankful for all the contributions so far, especially the help with packaging it. sorry if someone feels let down.

    i feel like this is the right moment to ask: if anyone reading has an idea how to improve the state of things, i'd be happy about some suggestions. the project page is https://github.com/gkdr/lurch

    Neben der normalen Version von lurch die zuletzt 2018 geupdatet wurde gibt es noch den dev build der wesentlich besser funktioniert und wo das letzte Update erst 5 Tage her ist. Allerdings muss man die Version entweder selbst kompilieren was bei Pidgin unter Windows etwas umständlich ist oder eine bereits kompilierte Version vom 24.07.2020 nutzen. https://github.com/gkdr/lurch/tree/dev https://eion.robbmob.com/lurch/dev/
